One year later, we’re separating fact from fiction.

In this solo episode, I’m diving deep into how the 2024 lawsuit reshaped (or didn’t reshape!) the housing market — from commissions to buyer agency, inventory, and why South Carolina stands out.

🎯 I’ll cover:

✔️ What’s changed (and what hasn’t) since the lawsuit
✔️ The difference between customer vs client relationships in SC
✔️ Why buyer agency is still alive and well
✔️ The return of inventory post-election
✔️ Why new construction is dominating the market
✔️ How interest rates, affordability, and rising rents are impacting today’s buyers

👀 Whether you're buying, selling, or just trying to keep up with the changes, this one's a must-listen.
